My Grundig dvd player has just been repaired. Previously the Goodmans hack worked but after the repair I cannot get the hack to work. I suspect the problem may be caused by a new varient of the Main Decoder PCB. The part No of the new PCB is : SUBMPGSEV31STE. Has anyone else experienced this problem/found the solution. Speedy solution is needed as I want to watch a region 1 copy of LOTR before I see the Twin Towers

One last request for a hack for my repaired Grundig GDV620-HT DVD player. If nothing is forthcoming I suppose I will have to sell my region 1 DVDs and stick to being ripped off for region 2 DVDs.

Re: Grundig GDV720HT audio query Written by: brian HACK:
Open the draw type 81328 on your remote a window will appear on your tv press the enter key to move to region 9 press play to close the drawer
the machine is now permanently multiregion. The hack was confirmed to work for the "720" by Ian ....who requested the hack. Your new circuitary might come from the "720" Good luck!

Thanks Yanny for trying to solve my problem but that hack didn`t work.
Looking at what happens when I try to enter hack codes it must be a 4 digit code as I get 4 highlights come up on the screen when I try to enter hack codes.
Can anyone else help, I`m quite prepared to take the cover off and look further if anyone thinks that will help

Clutching at straws now Ken, I seem to recall that Grundig were part of Philips. Philips 640 & 707 have 4 digit codes Look in >Info >Multi-Region Hacks >Remote Hackable >Page 26 Worth a try!

Thanks again Yanny but neither of those 2 hacks worked but the Phillips information has given me hope. I shall try any and all 4 digit codes for Phillips, Goodmans and any other clones and see what happens.

source http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdhacks.php?select=Grundig%20GDV%20620HT Region code or Macrovision hack posted by Charly at January 10 2002: The GDV620 is one of the easiest hacks around. 1.Power on,and open drawer. 2.Key in 3838 with handset. 3.A menu will appear,"Region Code",and "Macro On/Off". 4.Region code can be set by pressing Enter key repeatedly to get desired region,and Macro,on the line below,can be accessed with the "down" button to be turned off if you wish to tape any DVD`s. 5.Press Open/Close button to store. As yet, I dont know if there is any limit to the number of times it can be changed!! Six other people on the same page quoted 9817 ....this guy was different!
